Evidence for down-regulation of beta-2-adreno-ceptors in cirrhotic patients with severe ascites [PDF]

, 1986
The density and affinity of beta-2-adrenoceptors on mononuclear cells from peripheral blood were studied in fifteen patients with cirrhosis of different severity and in thirteen controls. There was no significant difference between cirrhotic patients and

Management of hypotension in dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker overdose: The role of high‐dose insulin therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amlodipine poisoning is a leading cause of cardiovascular medication‐related deaths, commonly managed with high‐dose insulin (HDI) therapy. However, HDI is a vasodilator that is counterproductive in managing vasoplegia. We aim to study HDI therapy in patients with hypotension following dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist (CCA) overdose ...

Estimated central blood volume in cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1992
The estimated central blood volume (i.e., blood volume in the heart cavities, lungs and central arterial tree) was determined by multiplying cardiac output by circulatory mean transit time in 19 patients with cirrhosis and compared with sympathetic ...

The problem of propranolol poisoning

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Propranolol is licensed in the UK and elsewhere to relieve symptoms of anxiety. In overdose, propranolol poisoning can be serious, difficult to treat and potentially fatal. This paper describes cases of intentional propranolol overdose reported to the UK National Poisons Information Service in order to raise awareness of the risk of harm following

Effects of oral propranolol on the resistive and pulsatility indices of major abdominal vasculatures in domestic short‐haired cats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023
Background No study has been performed regarding the effects of oral administration of propranolol on pulse‐wave spectral Doppler indices of major abdominal vessels in healthy adult cats. Objective The objective of this study was to assess the pulse‐wave

The use of non-selective beta-blockers in patients with cirrhosis: more doubts than certainties [PDF]

, 2017
In conclusion, prospective RCT would be needed on the use of NSBBs in decompensated cirrhotic patients with ascites however these trials are difficult to organize and will need a large sample size.

Exploring Multi‐Organ Crosstalk via the TissUse HUMIMIC Chip System: Lessons Learnt So Far

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture models have revolutionized biomedical research by mimicking the complex 3D in vivo environment in the human body. Different types of 3D models have been established, including heterotypic systems such as, organ‐on‐a‐chips which have been further developed into multiorgan‐on‐chip systems that ...

Contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension [PDF]

, 2016
Dysregulation of the sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) is believed to significantly impact blood pressure. Recent studies have implicated overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system as a mechanism driving renal NCC dysregulation to evoke the ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).
